DHS/OIG/PIA-001(a) – Office of Inspector General Investigative Records System Update

Office of Inspector General Investigative Records System Update, September 24, 2009 (PDF, 6 pages - 249 KB) The Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General (OIG) Investigative Records System (IRS) includes both paper investigative files and the "Enforcement Data System" (EDS). EDS, although within IRS, is an electronic case management and tracking information system, which also generates management reports. OIG uses EDS to manage information relating to OIG investigations of alleged criminal, civil, or administrative violations by the Department's employees, contractors, grantees, beneficiaries, and other individuals and entities associated with the Department and to track resources used in investigative activities. This Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) is an update to the PIA approved January 18, 2008. The update is necessary because EDS has been updated and is a new Web based system with enhanced security features and new data elements.
